for what is happening in san bernardino right now. this is from the sheriff's office so let me say that this is early information. today at about 12:20 p.m. sheriffs were in the hunt for clir for dorner in the big bear area. they received a call about a stolen vehicle in the 1200 block of club view drive. the stolen vehicle was individual that afeered be similar to christopher dorner. it immediately conducted a ground and air search for this vehicle and was able to located it at highway 38 and glass road where the suspect fled into the forrest. shortly after, the suspect barricaded himself into a cabin and an exchange of gunfire occurred. during that gunfire two officers were injured and right now their condition is unknown. los angeles police department

has sent resources out to the san bernardino officers. our resources are waiting there for information from the san bernardino county sheriff's. this is their lead, this is their investigation. we are there to support them, only if asked. that is as much i have on that particular incident throughout. a quick update on how the search is going from our side. right now we have 1,045 officers out there following up on clues. some are panning out and some are dead ends. we're going to continue to work our clues as these events unfold. i will take a couple of quick questions but my information is sketchy. we're not positive and until we get this guy in custody we're not going to know for sure. they say it was similar in

appearance so the like -- likely hood but we can't say for sure. i can't confirm the hostage part. we were listening to the scanner and getting our information from the san bernardino's sheriffs. i can't confirm anyone was held hostage and that has not been confirmed yet. i can't give you specifics about what resources we have up there. we believe this individual may be watching tv or have some access to media. i do not want to tip our hand. ask the media to not show any live broadcasting of where the swat officers are doing in that area. the reason for that is, it will put officers at a disadvantage if the suspect know what is our folks are doing.

i don't know what the involvementment of the california fishing and game associate was at this time. i don't have an update from them, i don't know what their involvement is at that time. >> can you talk about the feeling among officers, now that it looks like he may be caught? >> everyone is very hopeful this ends without any further bloodshed. we hope we can take this guy into custody and we hope that no other officers are injured. the best thing for him would be for him to surrender and he can face the criminal justice system. there is a sense of apprehension here, there is concern with the officers up there. until he is in custody, none of our people are going to rest. >> what kind of resources -- >> i can't give specifics about

what resources we sent. we did send some resources and they are waiting at the airport and we're waiting to be called in if we're needed. by the way people are asking if the chief of police went own there, he has not. he is still here. i don't have any information about the suspect allegedly took. i have seen videotape from the media members, i don't have any information on the vehicle. >> if he is watching this, what message do you have for him? >> the message for him is enough is enough. it time to turn yourself in. it is time to stop the bloodshed. let this event and let this incident be over. >> is your first priority to take him alive? >> our first priority is to make sure the community is safe. once that area is locked down and all the citizens are safe, then we'll let the swat team go in and do what they do best,

which is hopefully get him without any more bloodshed. one more question then i have to go. >> are you going wait until it dies down? >> a couple things on that. san bernardino officers are embedded in a team of officers who have been working to solve this thing. we also sent one of our assistant chiefs out there so we're getting real time updates so we no what is going on up there. probably a very good exchange of information. we work really well with our law enforcement partners throughout southern california. ok. i don't know what the weapons he had. >> you've been listening to a press conference in california about the situation in the san bernardino mountains. that is where the rogue police officer, christopher dorner is believed to be hiding out, possibly in that cabin that you

saw. >> police are confirming everything that we've been reporting about. a 911 call, then a shootout and we will keep you updated when we get new information. >> in the meantime, doug hill, what a beautiful day today. >> sunshine and temperatures in the upper 50's. by this time tomorrow, we're going to have snow. we'll brake it down just a--

last month. by all public appearances dayvon green was an academic star. just a month to go he was named a student ambassador for nasa. he was a grad student in maryland researching robots in space. something went wrong. >> after speaking with green's family detectives learned that the shooter had been suffering from a mental illness. >> at some point, he began to arm himself. police found a basketball bat, machete and handgun, one of them is 9 millimeter. >> that was purchased legally in the baltimore county area in 201. >> green used that handgun to kill his house mate and to wound another before shooting himself dead. it happened apparently without warning. the house mates found green

setting small fires in and near their off campus fire. >> it is really scary that it happened right here and so close to campus. >> it is a crazy night in college parking. you hear about it all over the place but you don't except it to be outside your front door. >> most students we spoke to expressed such disbelief. the school's president says he was stunned. he says the school was unaware of green's troubles. >> it is a tragedy and our heart gose out to his family and parents. >> right now you're looking at the spot where mr. rane was gunned down as he tried to run away from green. there is a lot of questions about motive. those remain unanswered. we understand that green left no note and we found no online

writings at all. i'm bred bell, abs 7

>> the standoff in california, a police officer in big bear, california. christopher dorn are is held up in a cabin. >> jay is in the newsroom monitoring the situation. >> the former police officer who vowed to hunt down and kill officers is in a cabin in the san bernardino mountain in california. now, this all started just a couple of hours ago. dorner allegedly broke into a cabin and tied up a couple of people. one of those individuals was able to escape and reach out to police. a short time later dorner stole a vehicle and barricaded himself in a cabin and was involved in a shooting. two officers were wounded. law enforcement is concerned that he has a large arson of

weapons. if he is watching this is a message. >> enough is enough. it is time to turn yourself in, time to stop the bloodshed. it is time to let this incident be over. >> dornin as been a focus of a manhunt after he shot and killed three people earlier this month. if there is anything breaking in this news story we will come right back to you. >> and we would like to hear from you about the word snow pap. >> things turn around quickly. a beautiful day today and rain may be changing to snow tomorrow. let's get into a time-lapse here in arlington. just before sun sunset and the clouds are moving in. now as we get to 6:20 in even thing, just a tiny glimmer of light left in the sky and that is about it.

more clouds will move in this evening as well. 59 in reagan national. 56 was the low. temperatures are comfortable air the area. temperatures are mild. so if we're looking at tomorrow, it looks like you have to get far north and west before you have the really big threat of any kind of snow that might affect transportation. temperatures are still in the 50's in the north and west. once the storm gets going the motion will push into the southwest. we'll get rain and then the low pressure syria will move across late tomorrow night. then it will draw in a little bit colder air. accumulation, again, in the metro area we won't see much because of the warm ground and warm temperatures b being

borderline. a computer model shows that we'll in the 40's tomorrow. it will be above freezing everywhere. that the point precipitation will move out and on friday, we'll be in the upper 40's. so whatever snow falls it will melt. accumulation area will be in the grassy areas. 1-2 inches north and west. when you g get to higher elevations you will get 2-4. but because of the warm air and the warm ground i don't think it will affect us much. rain and then a good chance it will turn to snow. sunny and mild thursday and friday. a strong cold front is coming through friday night. that will yield chilly temperatures through the upcoming weekend. with a chance of flurries by sunday. >> now the toyota sports desk.

>> all right talk heat in florida. >> let's talk spring. pitchers and catchers getting ready to go but there is a huge cloud hanging over the neth. there is huge questions of gio using perform-enhancers. but the thought of a 50-game sussspention is too hard for nats fans. today, gio would not go on camera he did deny the allegations this way. >> i have never taken perform -- performance-enhancing drugs and i never will. this is about the team together and this should not be a distraction for the guys. >> meanwhile everyone is wore rig if drew stornen is still

haunted when he game up four runs. britt mchenry spent time with drew today. >> his story is one of the cornerstones of this team, drafted in 2009. he has been a solid relief pitcher. he did hit a few stumbling blocks last year due to injuries. >> no matter how big the game is, in game five, i take just as much pride and i get just as mad when i don't do well. >> he did what every pitcher is taught to do, move on to the next pitch. it is his driving force to do better. >> you see a group of guys that we have and all the excitement for this year. it is a tough one to swallow but when you look forward and see if i get my ducks in the row, we'll

finally, happy birthday to rg iii he is 23 years old today. >> oh, my goodness. >> we'll be right back. >> oh, let's get a look at the timeline. >> rain in tank, and then it will turn slowly and change to snow. as far as the accumulation possibilities, maybe up to an 1 inch grassy areas. bob rye ya will check the models and have an update on that at 11:00. quiet out there now. >> we're not going to be right back. "world news" is next. >> we'll be back at 11:00 after the state of the union.
